Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany - ISEP
is located in the city of Marburg, on the river Lahn in western Germany, surrounded by forests and situated just an hour north of Frankfurt. With its charming, medieval atmosphere, Marburg is enchanting–you can stroll along the idyllic river, stop by a café, and enjoy the views from the hilltop castle. It is one of the few early medieval cities of almost unchanged character. While you are in Marburg, experience all the city has to offer by renting a rowboat on the Lahn River or attending a Christmas market full of seasonal goodies and souvenirs. Spend an afternoon exploring Marburg Castle, climb the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower, try a Hessen-style beer with lemonade and fruit, and check out the fairy tale pathway, which weaves through Marburg and commemorates the Brothers Grimm, who were heavily inspired and influenced by Marburg’s romantic streets in their many stories.
Deepen your understanding of German language and culture while also learning more about business, sciences, global studies, and humanities from a German perspective. ISEP students also have access to the Marburg buddy system, a program that will connect you to a new friend who will help you navigate daily life and assimilate into the culture of your new home. On a regular basis, the International Office offers trips and excursions to introduce you to German history, culture, and people.
